McAllister Is Winner In Garden Contest Buy Your Automatic Wood-burn ing Stove And Furniture On Easy Payment Plan. J. S. STROM PHONE NO. 76 McCORMICK, S. C. Mrs. D. J. McAllister, Mt. Carmel, has recently been awarded 8th place in the South Carolina Home Demonstration Better Garden Contest in the Central District. A prize of $8.00 has been presented to Mrs. McAllister by the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau. Inc. This is the fourth time that she has won a place in this contest since 1937 and has received a total of $50.00 in prize money for her work. In Mrs. McAllister’s garden story for 1940 she said: My garden work began in fall of 1939 when I burned rubbish to destroy insects, broad casted stable manure over it and had it thoroughly plowed. I find that thorough plowing in the fall is very important to a garden. I also put a covering of soil over the beets and carrots and planted onions, peas (English), lettuce, cabbage, kale, spinach, mustard, turnips and set out strawberry and raspberry plants. During the fall I saved all of the leaves, making a compost heap by putting a layer of leaves and a layer of stable compost. The first of January I ordered seed catalogues and after making my garden plans I selected the seed I needed. I always save most of my seed from the very best plants. I always try to order the varieties of seed that Mother Walker and Mr. Schilletter recom mend in their monthly garden letters. I prepared hot beds and cold frames and planted just as early as the weather would permit. I find it very necessary to get plants out into the open as early as pos sible so as to be well developed before the drought (that we have had for several years) and hot weather sets in. ^ I planted 28 varieties of vegeta bles and canned twenty different kinds of vegetable^. I canned 250 quarts of vegetables after having served vegetables from my garden every day during the year to my family of three, a wages hand and very often to a arge number of day laborers. I have only sold enough vegeta bles to pay for the seed and insect poison but I have divided with my friends. I used a steam pressure cooker in canning that I paid for with the garden prize money I won last year. I made monthly plantings of vegetables. As soon as one crop was finished I immediately plant ed another on the same land. All my garden land has had two crops and most of it three. When it was too dry to plant seed I put water in the furrow and never failed to get up a good stand of plants. In my experience with garden ing I find it very necessary to cul tivate often through a drought. I staked my tomatoes and mulched them heavily. In setting out plants I set them deep and pud dled the roots. I applied Chilean Nitrate of Soda and compost to keep the plants growing. During the drought I put water around the plants before I applied the Nitrate of Soda. I kept matured vegeta- the bles gathered to promote growth the, of the plants. I used the insect control methods recommended in the monthly garden letters of Mother Walker and Mr. Schilletter and found them to be very successful. „ I had an exhibit of canned products at the State Fair * and won first prize on the best col lection of canned vegetables at the County Fair. I had a public exhibit of a canning budget :?or one person for one year. I began my garden work four years ago under the guidance of the Home Demonstration Agents and monthly letters of the Exten sion Service and have won a price for three years. I feel that :ny success in gardening along with constant hard work has been mostly due to the monthly garden letters, to the ever willing advice and help of the Home Demon stration Agent and the help of Chilean Nitrate of Soda. I am more convinced each year that Chilean Nitrate of Soda is the very best of all fertilizer for vegetables. The work has cost very little, as I did all the work I could my self and find the outdoor work has added to my health and han- as well as to the family When the frost came I had nil kinds of vegetables in, my garden that I had in the spring. I still have collards, cabbage, beets, car rots, lettuce, spinach, mustard, kale, English peas, onions and tur nips. I stored three bushels of tomatoes (green) for winter use. Again I say that from the stand point of health and dollars and cents the garden is the most valuable spot on the farm.
